Don't bother with pointless macros - we are not sharing it with aout coredumps
anymore.  Just convert the underlying functions to the same arguments (nobody
uses regs, actually) and call them elf_core_copy_task_fpregs().  And unexport
the entire bunch, while we are at it.

[added missing includes in arch/{csky,m68k,um}/kernel/process.c to avoid extra
warnings about the lack of externs getting added to huge piles for those
files.  Pointless, but...]

This reverts commit 9866d141a0977ace974400bf1f793dfc163409ce.

The csky rseq support has been merged without ever notifying the rseq
maintainers, and without any of the required asssembler glue in the rseq
selftests, which means it is entirely untested.

It is also derived from a non-upstream riscv patch which has known bugs.

The assembly part of this revert should be carefully reviewed by the
architecture maintainer because it touches code which has changed since
the merge of the reverted patch.

The rseq selftests assembly glue should be introduced at the same time
as the architecture rseq support. Without the presence of any test, I
recommend reverting rseq support from csky for now.

To follow the existing per-arch conventions, using "current_stack_pointer"

This will let it be used in non-arch places(like HARDENED_USERCOPY).

Refer to the implementation of riscv commit fdecfea09328 ("riscv: Rename

<title>kbuild: use obj-y instead extra-y for objects placed at the head</title>

The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
   them before other archives in the linker command line.

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
   obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.

This commit gets rid of the latter.

Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.

With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.

There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.

$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

<id>787dbea11a5d6843999ff71a3fb9aa1ed6d5d889</id>
<content type='text'>
The setup_profiling_timer() is mostly un-implemented by many
architectures.  In many places it isn't guarded by CONFIG_PROFILE which is
needed for it to be used.  Make it a weak symbol in kernel/profile.c and
remove the 'return -EINVAL' implementations from the kenrel.

There are a couple of architectures which do return 0 from the
setup_profiling_timer() function but they don't seem to do anything else
with it.  To keep the /proc compatibility for now, leave these for a
future update or removal.

On ARM, this fixes the following sparse warning:
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:793:5: warning: symbol 'setup_profiling_timer' was not declared. Should it be static?

architectures.  In many places it isn't guarded by CONFIG_PROFILE which is
needed for it to be used.  Make it a weak symbol in kernel/profile.c and
remove the 'return -EINVAL' implementations from the kenrel.

There are a couple of architectures which do return 0 from the
setup_profiling_timer() function but they don't seem to do anything else
with it.  To keep the /proc compatibility for now, leave these for a
future update or removal.

On ARM, this fixes the following sparse warning:
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:793:5: warning: symbol 'setup_profiling_timer' was not declared. Should it be static?
